Great tutorial Sir. Can you please also add a Sheet-music of this lesson for download? It will help us better understand and serve quick reference. Love & regards From India
Hello, must admit I play by ear, but I will have a think about sheet music and how to do it. Adding sheet music may be something I add as the channel grows, good idea thankyou.
Hello,. there is a bit of a balance getting the info across and making videos more mobile friendly. I will have a think about this whilst I'm creating the next video as I don't want to exclude viewers. Thankyou for the feedback.
@@scaledtuna that circle is fascinating and I am sure it will be extremely useful (if I could understand it). I tried screenshotting it but it was incomprehensible.
There is a video I have created explaining how the circle of fifths is built.. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uSAmnyV9s-A.html .. I hope it will help you understand how it works and the important information should be viewable on a mobile device. The video also has info cards, that can be zoomed into, although I appreciate the keyboards showing the chords may too small beside the wheel, as they were really designed for desktop/tablet use. What you say though is valid as I have had another comment saying the info is too small. have to keep that in mind in future videos or even create mobile specific or supplementary content. Thanks for taking the time to comment as it gives me good feedback for future videos.
This is too confusing, are you using inversions for some of these? I'm really putting in the effort to understand this stuff but It's kind of hard when what I am hearing and seeing doesn't match up, like what you were doing with the pivot chords, you said you were playing in one scale but it looked like the same scale or something completely different, My theory is spotty but and this kind of confusion when people explain things is kind of why, I'm not too bright so I need some level of clarity.
Hi @dr.koupop880 this video has been remade to make it easier to follow thanks to the constructive feedback from this video. see link to new video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uSAmnyV9s-A.html .. I hope you like it and see the improvements. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thanks for that, I will keep that in mind for the next video. Were you watching on a mobile device and did you mean the keyboard at the bottom or at the sides?
Thanks for commenting. I am currently working on a remake of the unlocking creativity with the cof video which should be arriving soon, its been a tad time consuming. Have a few more already planned after that. Hope you stick around.
Top notch & crystal clear! You give all viewers an encouragement, a reminder to 'roam' further afield in our sonic explorations - and with great 'cartography'. TVM! Great job - delighted to subscribe and 'like'.
Enjoyed it and have Subbed. Must be Honest though. You didn't Quite Make the circle look to USER FRIENDLY! I was everywhere trying to follow you. HMMM! 🤔🤔
Thankyou for subbing and taking time to comment, I need honest feedback to make better videos.. I really need to do a "remake" of this video as it was my first tutorial video and have learnt a bit since creating it. Please take a look at my newer videos as a lot of feedback from this has gone into the newer videos. I hope you like them, any feedback is welcome.
I hope you might like the remake of this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uSAmnyV9s-A.html - thank you for the suggestion to make it more user friendly!
@@scaledtuna I am late fourties and only starting to believe in the power of music (and other abstract subjects) but i appreciate very much, tx you tx you
This looks really useful but unfortunately I struggle to see what you did! Unless I change the playback speed to 0.75 and take copious notes. See comment from @petejandrell4512 amongst many others below. What a pity. - repost with an update by any chance?
Thank you for your feedback @geoffwatson, this video is the first attempt before feedback :) . Please take a look at the newer videos I have posted titled (Adding color/colour to music part 1 and 2) where a lot of feedback from this video has gone into creating them, I really hope you like them and see the improvements. I spent a fair amount of time in the newer videos writing software from scratch to display the COF and highlight the chords as I am playing them as there was not a product out there I liked. I am currently writing my next video about passing chords thanks to @jorgeellesmenmusic for the suggestion, where I plan to make further enhancements to visualisations. I do plan to remake this video at some point in the future, there are quite a few changes I want to make and will take some time between the day job. Shame I cant just overwrite this video, I will need to upload a new video so want to get a bit more content in first.. I hope you stay around and see the improvements.

Totally lost on what you're doing. I understand the circle of fifths, but what you're playing and the speed you're talking makes this video useless other than showing the dim 7th's.
Hello, thank you for taking the time to comment, sorry to hear that you didn't get much from the video due to the pace. I have taken many of the comments on board from this video, to help with the newer videos I have just released. More time has been spent visualising and highlighting the chords as I am playing them and making the audio more clear. Speed wise, Its hard to find the balance between keeping interest for some and going to quickly for others. I think moving forward I will try to make the illustrations as clear as I can.. All feedback is very much appreciated as this is a bit of a learning curve for me also :).

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PO6hPnvvWDE.html <- thank you for the suggestion. I have credited you in the description if that is ok by you?
Hi, thanks for noticing this was time consuming :). I wrote it myself in javascript using the SVG library to draw the circle of fifths and to highlight the chord along with the table generation. All the slides are generated through a web browser. I would like to make this public domain in the future when it is ready, or to allow an interface through a website to generate the COF diagram.
Hi, I record my piano into logic pro and feed the midi input into a piece of software called MidiTrail to produce the nice looking 3d keyboard which is green screened onto the presentation slides. I quite like it but agree the red lines are a bit annoying something for me to think about , do you have any suggestions? As regards to your other comment about indicating what I am playing, it seems to be a common thread of feedback and something I will add to videos moving forward. Thankyou for taking the time to comment, it will help me to make better videos in the future.
I hope you might like the remake of this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uSAmnyV9s-A.html - Where I have tried to indicate what I am playing more clearly and have shown the chords in keyboard form beside the circle to help as well (sorry about the red lines, I do think subliminally they help to show how long a note is pressed but I am looking for a better solution, I may end up writing my own software for it). Info cards have also been added so video can be paused at specific points.. Thanks again for your feed back as its help to improve this.
I agree with most comments. I liked your ideas, and how you showed them. I think the speed was spot on, keeping interest but not too overwhelming. 2 Things: Maybe you could add the chord name & function for better understanding. And you could try to eliminate the high hiss sound on your voice, it’s rather distracting (at least for me). Interested in how you progress! Keep it up :)
I am glad you liked the ideas, apologies about the high frequency noise which I only noticed after publishing, a bit of a learning curve on that one. Adding the chords seems to be a common thread in the comments, useful feedback. Thanks for commenting.
I hope you might like the remake of this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uSAmnyV9s-A.html - I have made it easier to follow, added more content and improved the audio. Thankyou for the feedback.
I’m getting pretty familiar with theory, but it is still hard to keep up with someone playing or illustrating it in real time. Yes, highlighting the wheel or the chord progression boxes would be helpful, or just slowing down a bit might help, but then we can play the video more slowly in settings. Speaking the chord name as you play would be another way to help us keep up. You’re doing well if you’ve not played very long.
Thankyou for commenting, I will take those comments on board for any subsequent videos. It is hard to find that balance between slowing down and keeping interest. Speaking the chord names is a good idea.
@@scaledtuna Yes, I was going to suggest the same thing. Otherwise I really like how you're giving a visual/auditory view so I can begin using the circle of fifths in a similar manner for songwriting. Which is why I subscribed.
Hello @robm3569. Thanks for taking the time to comment and subscribing. I am in the process of remaking this video which I am hoping to be able to post up soon as a new video. I have improved the audio, adapted the content and am currently in the process of remaking the visuals with animations.
Thanks for the comment about the audio, I made a remake video with this comment in mind ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uSAmnyV9s-A.html - thank you for the suggestion
Thanks for the comment! Thinking this one might be on the edam side of cheese, so I am thinking of getting a few more videos together before posting next to try and up the quality.
Wonderful post. It's one thing to know the chords and the theory behind said chords, but applying them to the piano is a different skill. You showing the varients up close tackles both areas of chord knowledge (what they are and how to play them) perfectly!
